Well, I was 16 and it was a superb blond from Andalucia...
Oooops, sorry, I should have better read your post!
My first HOROLOGICAL love was only in my dreams, since my youngest age...A Rolex 1675.
So, it was a bit logical to me to pay an hommage to this love, and to make my dreams come true, as soon as it was financially possible.
It was a Rolex GMT, a 16 700 I sold to get a 16 750.
This watch drove me to the madness of watches, and since I made the plunge in the watch collection.
I don't know if I have to thank it...
But one thing is sure...If I have to sell my collection for one reason or another, it will be one of the very last...
The beginning ...and the end.
God, I am so romantic.
Best, my friend.

Surprisingly, a pocket watch ...
Actually my first horological love is this pocket watch. It belonged to my grandfather and it kindled my horological interests at a formative age. It finally came into my hands when I finished University and will ultimately pass to my kids. Andrew...

Nice topic! My first was a present from my wife for our 10 year wedding anniversary. She knew I always had an interest in mechanical watches and after some careful research and shopping, we jointly decided to get me this one: Little did she know at that t...

One of my fav Rolex
It s amazing how a lot of us keep their first love....thanks for posting.Mo
Very nice Tudor Snowflakes, too!
The Patina of the bezel is working very nicely with the dial! Anyway, it would be fun to see how many first loves were caused by Rolex Watches... Best, Nicolas
First rotomatic watch...

Oh, yes!!!!!
I have two. The first is an Accutron that I cut lawns to afford and ordered from a retailer in Chicago when I was about 13...it was pretty expensive for a young man at that age. I abused it and recently had it restored which cost a lot more than the watch...
Let s make those watchmakers happy..
that is what makes us happy in the end...glad you posted these......Mo
I think it started with a Swatch.
Twas back in the high school days. I was nuts about them. Then my first "real" watch, ie, mechanical, was a Rolex GMT Master. I got that when I got my first job.
first love
Great topic...only got into watches a few years ago--this is the one that started it--lots of sentimental value: bought it for graduation/birthday/new job...that was quite a year....
Nice way to start scott
you couldn t get the ball rolling any better......fantastic JLC.Mo
